Default trouble anchoring

hey now!

I'm still having trouble getting my anchor to set. 20 ft boat, 15 ft of chain.. not sure how much the anchor weighs but some old salts tell me my set up is fine. More often then not I just drift and drag the damn thing.

last week I was watching how much line I had out... 80 ft of line in 20 feet of water and I couldn't get a set at the hook. Back bay I was able twice to set, but it's been the minority.

any advice?
